The Empire Collegiate Wrestling Conference (ECWC) officially announced its annual list of All-Academic Team selections for the 2021-22 season. The conference honored 93 wrestlers in this season's release, marking the fourth consecutive year that the All-Academic Team topped the 50-mark and second straight year with over 90 honorees.
Recipients of this honor must have a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average or higher (through the last eligible grading period of the current academic year) or have maintained a 3.30 or better over the past two completed semesters. Wrestlers must also have competed in three separate events during the season to gain consideration. Freshmen and transfers that have been enrolled full-time for at least one semester are eligible to receive this honor.

Oneonta's 11 honorees are graduate student Tyler Brazinski (Johnson City/Johnson City) (Psychology), seniors Tyler Skala (East Quogue/Westhampton Beach) (Childhood Education), Anthony Romero (Spring Valley/Ramapo) (Criminal Justice), and Jacob Pine (Hoosick Falls/Hoosick Falls) (Dietetics), juniors Greg Brach (Bellmore/Belmore JFK) (Elementary Education), Sam Berger (East Setauket/Ward Melville) (Finance), Michael Blando (Massapequa/Massapequa) (Criminal Justice) and Kevin Jorgensen (Bohemia/Connetquot) (Education), sophomore Noah Kennedy (Greene/Greene) (Adolescent Education), and freshmen Joel Zea (Queens/Thomas Edison) (Undeclared) and Anderson Klosner (Ilion/Central Valley Academy) (Adolescent Education).
